I tried staying drunk for the 1st week and found it rather unfulfilling and counter productive. With my new found interest in trying new things, I’ve discovered that life is an adventure. I’m in Los Vegas this week on business. Yesterday I stopped into a high end skincare shop. They offer products like a non surgical facelift for $5500. I decided to get a facial and ended up spending $800 0n products. It was a fascinating process. I had great fun and met some great people in the store.

3 Ways Perfectionism Kills Innovation. So much of the trepidation around innovation and creativity comes from the fear of screwing it all up. The anxiety of entertaining the idea that whatever you’re thinking about or working on will blow up in your face, or wreck your career, or make you look like a total idiot.

About davemac2200

This has been my journey of discovery. I started my career path as a profession musician. The nest step in the journey was selling guitars and managing a music store. Selling guitars turned into to selling cars and then becoming a new car sales manager of a dealership. While managing the dealership, I stared investing in real estate and studying mortgage lending, gaining more control of the finance process. Soon I became a mortgage loan officer, manager and finally, owner of a mortgage company. After the financial melt down in 2009, I transitioned to foreclosure defense. Many of my clients were losing their homes as a result of unemployment. Countless talented individuals had lost their jobs and not found a suitable replacement. Executive from 45-65 were competing with young college graduates, who willing to work for 25% of that of the seasoned professional. There is a substantial need for executive re-education programs. To that purpose, I founded "Income Alternatives” to assist displaced executives in finding alternative sources of income. The path I've outlined could never have been imagined, in advance of the journey. Please share your journey in a comment here. Thanks
